Italy steamrolling over France..

[brandnew70x7]

Judging from what happened in WWII, this should NOT happen. The French were highly effective in Southern France where there alpine troops were successful in repelling Italian agression.

The Italian attack was repelled by General Olry at the price of only 258 casualties!

Very true.

The Italian army is overpowered in '39. They should have weaker org values than the French, for sure, and their air units should be quite pitiful.

The Alpine border areas should be fortified ( maybe with level 3 or 4 forts?) and Alpine spaces should be much more painful to attack.

If you tried holding off 20 Italian divisions with 3 second line, understrength infantry divisons as it stands you'll lose all of France to Italy before the Germans even make it to Paris...

This is a game, if you want predictable history read a book.

Errr.... right.

Its WWII, which means whatever the outcome the initial settings should be modeled on the years leading up to the Second World War. The Italian army over running France in many games is most certainly not plausible, especially since often times Germany sits on the border.

Alot of the time in my games Italy reaches vichy, so there is no vichy event. It's really stupid.

If this is just a game and not modeled on history then I want, nay, I demand that my French tanks should be Leclercs and that I have balistic missile submarines!

Bah. Weakling.

As the USA, I demand my command and conquer esque orca gunships, powered armor, and plasma cannons mounted on hovertanks.

Got v1.02 yet? I've just started a game in it as Italy and the French have 8 divs sitting on my border (4 per prov). This border now comes with two nifty level 2 forts on the French side.
